IdealGearR2T
Gearbox transforming rotational into translational motion

Mechanics/Rotational/Components
Description
This is an ideal mass- and inertialess gearbox which transforms a 1D-rotational into a 1D-translational motion. If elasticity, damping or backlash has to be considered, this ideal gearbox has to be connected with corresponding elements. This component defines the kinematic constraint:
(flangeR.phi - internalSupportR.phi) = ratio*(flangeT.s - internalSupportT.s);
Parameters

mo_useSupportT | useSupportT | = true, if translational support flange enabled, otherwise implicitly grounded | Number | 0 |
mo_ratio | ratio | Transmission ratio (flange_a.phi/flange_b.s) | Scalar |
